William Shakespeare (baptised 26 April 1564; died 23 April 1616) was an English poet and playwright, widely regarded as the greatest writer in the English language and the world's pre-eminent dramatist. He is often called England's national poet and the "Bard of Avon". His surviving works, including some collaborations, consist of about 38 plays, 154 sonnets, two long narrative poems, and several other poems. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed more often than those of any other playwright.

King Lear : 1, 3 "Duke of Albany's Palace is probably Falkland Castle. See http://www.undiscoveredscotland.co.uk/falkland/falkland/ It is very near to Macduff's Castle too, which is probably not a coincidence. Edited by Keith_F (12/30/05 05:36 AM) "
Richard II : 5, 5 Richard III: 3, 3 In fact : Pontefract Castle : Pontefract is located a few miles from Castleford, where the River Calder joins the River Aire (See Leeds and Airedale). Pontefract was originally called Taddensclyff - a shelf of land belonging to an Anglo-Saxon called Taedden, but it was later rnamed Kirkby by the Vikings, meaning the village with a church. The name of Pontefract means broken bridge and is part French, part Latin. This name was recorded in 1090 but it is not known how a bridge came to be broken here. In 1190 the name of Pontefract occurs under the spelling Pumfrate. Pumfrate or Pomfret reflected the Norman French pronunciation of the place name and this pronunciation is still sometimes used today. 'Bloody Pomfret' castle is referred to in Shakespeare's Richard II and has been a stage for much history. Pontefract Castle was built in the 12th century by Ilbert de Lacy, whose grandson, also called Ilbert de Lacy founded Kirkstall Abbey near Leeds. The castle later passed into the hands of the Earls of Lancaster , whose numbers included Thomas, who was brought here after a battle at Boroughbridge and beheaded in 1322. King Richard II was another to suffer at Pontefract castle - he was kept prisoner and murdered here. James I of Scotland was imprisoned here, as was Charles, Duke of Agnicourt (captured at Agnicourt ) and many other unfortunate people were executed here during the Wars of the Roses. Owners of the castle included John of Gaunt (1340-1399) who once entertained Chaucer here. Other visitors to the castle at Pontefract have included King Henry IV and King Edward IV. The Castle was a Royalist stronghold during the Civil War but was pulled down by the Parliamentarian folk of Pontefract after its surrender in 1648. http://www.thenortheast.fsnet.co.uk/Calderdale.htm
Corioli, an ancient Volscian city in Latium adiectum, taken, according to the Roman annals in 493 BC, with Longula and Pollusca, and retaken (but see above) for the Volsci by Gaius Marcius Coriolanus, its original conqueror, who, in disgust at his treatment by his countrymen, had deserted to the enemy. After this it does not appear in history, and we hear soon afterwards (443 BC) of a dispute between Ardea and Aricia about some land which had been part of the territory of Corioli, but had at an unknown date passed to Rome with Corioli. The site is apparently to be sought in the N.W. portion of the district between the sea, the river Astura and the Alban Hills; but it cannot be more accurately fixed (the identification with Monte Giove, S. of the Valle Aricciana, rests on no sufficient evidence), and even in the time of Pliny the Elder it ranked among the lost cities of Latium. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corioli
